the happiness project :: link up :: week #2

xYG0FX on Make A Gif, Animated Gifs

hello lovelies!  i have completed my first week of my happiness project and am ready to get going on week 2!  my goal for week one was to "declutter" although i have not completely decluttered our home, we have certainly made progress and i am incredibly happy about that.

over the weekend matthew and i tackled our "free for all" room in the basement.  this room was filled with all sorts of things...books, random decorations, wedding items and china that my parents passed down to me.  we created a throw away pile, donate pile and keep pile and managed to completely declutter and reorganize that room.  all of the china is now in its proper place and i'm looking forward to having the opportunity to enjoy it!


next week i will focus on continuing to declutter our home and i will work on another goal that i am particularly excited about as well...


i have been wanting to recreate my design space for quite some time now.  right now it is rather boring and not at all inspiring.  now that i am at home full time i am constantly in this studio and i believe that once my surroundings are fun and creative i will be able to be more creative myself!

like my goal of decluttering, recreating my design space is going to take more than a week which is why it is a goal on the top of my list.  i plan to declutter my area first and then paint the walls!  we have already purchased a pretty color and i can't wait to share what the theme of my design space will be!!

i will be back next week to share with you all my progress and my newest happiness project goal.

whether you started the happiness project last week or you want to give it a go this week...link up and share your happiness project goals and progress for the week too...can't wait to see!!

the happiness project :: link up :: - week #1

at the beginning of the year i talked about my inspiration to create my own happiness project for 2011 after reading the amazing book written by gretchin rubin.  unfortunately, life took over...i began working from home, building my shop and suddenly my happiness project flew out the window.


over the last few months i have been figuring out how to balance work, being a good wife and friend and my overall happiness...i think now is a great time to reintroduce my happiness project and i am inviting you all to join me on this journey.  


i will focus on a new goal each week and document my progress in a post the following week (and also share with you my newest goal).  i hope you all will link up and share your own goals for your happiness project!  i can't wait to get started.  here is what i will be working on this week...



i have always thought the a cluttered home is a cluttered mind.  we are in serious need of decluttering.  although i do not believe i can take care of this goal in one week, this is why it is the first on my list so i can continue to work on it for as long as i need!  i'll be back next week with my progress!


what would you like to do this week for your happiness project?  link up your goal and share your progress next thursday in week #2's link up!
